Take the winding country lane, follow the trees and picture what life could look like here. A traditional Irish cottage, old stone outbuildings and over 2.5 acres, with meadows stretching into the distance. There`s something magical about this setting and plenty of room to make it your own.

An old Irish cottage, traditional stone outbuildings and over 2.5 acres of land, surrounded by a patchwork of meadows and hedgerows stretching into the distance. For anyone who has pictured a different life in the Irish countryside, this is a place to put those ideas on paper.

The cottage measures approximately 43 sq. m across three rooms and requires full renovation. Its simple shape, twin chimneys and traditional hearth give you something worth working with, the character of an old Irish home, with the opportunity to shape the layout and finish around how you want to live.

Alongside it, the traditional stone outbuildings offer a restoration project of their own. Repaired roofs, carefully pointed stonework and simple timber doors could transform these old structures into useful spaces while keeping the character of the original group of buildings.

The land gives the dream room to grow. A kitchen garden, an orchard, a few hens or simply space to wander beneath the trees, the appeal is having the freedom to shape your surroundings, with long countryside views beyond.

A major practical addition is already complete: a new insulated Steeltech shed measuring approximately 40 ft × 30 ft, set on a new concrete base. With around 1,000 sq. ft. of space, a roller shutter and separate pedestrian door, it offers valuable room for tools, equipment, storage and hobbies.

Beyond the winding lane and open meadows lies a countryside rich in Irish history and folklore. Nearby Tulsk opens the door to Rathcroghan, the ancient royal landscape of Connacht, while Ogulla`s holy well carries its own tradition of St. Patrick and two Irish princesses. A place to put down roots, with plenty of stories to discover.

There may also be financial help to bring the dream to life, with refurbishment grants of up to €50,000 for vacant properties or €70,000 for derelict properties, plus potential SEAI support for energy upgrades.

There`s something magical about this setting, the kind of place that makes you linger a little longer than you planned.
